After seeing so many excited local musicians and hearing about distant relatives flying to town for the San Diego Music Awards, all I can say is that I hope it actually rains to justify the first postponement of the event in 23 years. Then again, those visitors can still enjoy San Diego offerings, so maybe it's just mean to wish for anything but clear skies. On Wednesday, you can catch the stylings of Tony Lucca at the Griffin, Steve Earle at the Belly Up, and No Joy at the Void. Just a smattering of the choices that this hump day has to offer, so, rain or shine, there's live music to tickle your eardrums. And you can re-plan for the music awards, which have been rescheduled for next Wednesday, Oct. 16.
